China’s 5G network now covers every city and town in the country, as well as more than 90 per cent of its villages.
Data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology showed on Friday.
China had established a globally leading information and communication network, featuring 3.84 million 5G base stations, which account for more than 60 per cent of the global total, according to the ministry.
Since the issuance of China’s first batch of 5G licenses for commercial use five years ago, 5G technology has been integrated into various sectors.
This has been integrated in various sectors such as industry, power, mining, healthcare and education, and with large-scale promotion and application.
China has also built 300 5G factories and launched over 13,000 projects for the application of 5G plus industrial internet.
